Good morning, and welcome back....I say welcome back as if you were here....however, I sort of think Jackie is on to some real truth in her comment....I would like to suggest that you give us a little more of your time...we really don't have any anterior motives...we just want to help....another member suffered a similar setback and I commented to her...see below....I recognize that we are all unique, however, the addiction is very much the same with all of us....try to look for what you might think would work for you and employ those measures....be well & feel free to reach out to me anytime.....
Okay (struck on purpose), let me start off by letting you know that this beating yourself up, and saying you are weak....well that simply ain't going to fly with me....STOP with the negativity! You are a special human being with wonderful aspirations to be healthy and survive without being a victim of cancer....that is reason enough to celebrate your decision and be "proud of who you ARE!"
As for the being angry that you aren't under the carport smoking in the rain....well another viewpoint would be to be in awe of how much extra time you are now going to have inside, or out....doing things that you enjoy doing. Being productive. Cooking inside and simply being a healthier individual as a direct result of the decision to NOT smoke anymore. We need to learn that we are NOT sacrificing anything of value by not smoking...Instead, we are gaining so much more of a better and healthier lifestyle. Concentrate on the positive side of this ledger....and stay away from thinking about how it used to be good....you know as well as any of us....it NEVER was that good. That is the nicotine addict in you that is telling you that "lie." Don't buy into it. You are doing great, just hold on, the urges will soon dissipate to nothing more than a distant memory.
I invite you to read a little something that I put together last month that seems to help others....try taking a short read of https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/groups/newbie-quitters/blog/2017/06/05/how-cleaned-up-are-your-to... I hope that you can feel free to express emotions and call out for HELP anytime you feel the need. Feel free to shoot me a direct message across the bow, I will respond as soon as I read it...(I'm usually monitoring this site quite often.
